The first leg of this trip has been travelling from home to Yeppoon (east of Rockhampton), Shan had some work to do so we decided to tack the rest of our trip on after that.
The plan for this trip is to travel from Yeppoon west. Neither one of us have ever been to Longreach and beyond so that is the plan this trip.
Anyway, we arrived in Yeppoon safely and soundly - however exhausted from our 8 or so hours driving. Finn was great travelling as usual.
We stayed where we usually stay in Yeppoon - The Coastal Motel - we decided not to stay in the camper until the trip started for real - as in once Shan was no longer 'on the clock' for work.
We had two nights there and it was lovely as usual. Shan and Finn went out for their morning mocha-chino-frappe blah blah, while I (sleepy head) had a lay-in. Here are some pics of their lovely morning….
Once Shan went to work Finn and I decided to go for a dip, the pool at the Motel is really lovely - though I was a sook and only got in very quickly as it was really cold.
Late in the afternoon we went to the Rockhampton Cultural Centre, the centre is very tour based, and unfortunately we were there an hour before the tour started - so we paid (a discounted rate was applied by the tour guide) and went through the exhibits on our own, Finn's attention span was lacking so we were glad that we didn't do the full hour and a half tour - though we definitely will do that next time as it appears to be amazing. We rate the place just from what we saw so can only imagine it has way more to offer if you do the full tour.

It was nice dining out while we were in Yeppoon - but we were really looking forward to hitting the road and starting our latest adventure!
Until the next post
